And the ease with which you can generate hundreds of lines of page with a simple text template and code.
Yup. When I rerun my things, in latex I just overwrite the plots file (pdf/png) and compile latex. In word I have to find where it was and replace it there. It’s way easier on latex if you make your code just write plot files in the same location.
Storing text in binary formats like word docs instead of plain text like latex makes git version control unusable.

latex exists to make your text look more professional, not to make you more productive, duh.

I’ve wasted hours of my life, trying to insert an image in a word document without word compressing it, making it illegible, only to find out that it’s impossible. I can’t even imagine anything being worse at this point
I never get these comments… I never had these problems in Word and I’m using Office since Office 2003. However what I did repeatedly see are users who, although Office has many possible workflows chose the most complex one and were then too stubborn to change
Sure, i can’t rule out user error, especially since im not a word expert. But the “searching for an alternative workflow part” is the one that actually takes the most time.
In the end, the “solution” that worked was to cut up the diagram and put it on multiple pages. Sure, it’s not elegant and maybe word had some built in features for this, but i couldn’t find them.
